 great! What changed? There isn't even a major if any price difference!

BTW, interesting choice for the first store. What is the story behind that? When are they coming to the NY area?

great memory -- Now I know who has the vision of the future. What changed was the constant emails and requests. And speedy designer, film printer, packing company, great team.
They're new, fresh, and in a NY warehouse now - working on pick-up schedules.

Are there different ingredients?
"Why are they better tasting?" according to many they like that it tastes better, top quality overall -
  and, because that's what the chefs and bloggers have been saying. Even eating them plain. taste them and let us know. 48% cocoa. High quality Belgian chocolate formula.

"Are there different ingredients?" Only 3 ingredients. No soy. No vanilla. Pure chocolate.

So why are they better tasting if they are the same thing (the KFP vs the regular)

same brand. Different formula. More cocoa. Pure taste. Still at The Butcherie? We'll make sure that you can find out in person.

Excellent for Pesach. A sha'ila -- can we melt and coat shmura matza with this?

Aiming to make that truck in time. Good transport weather now. Keeps top quality flavor. Let us know which you prefer. The ice cream people may prefer these as well.

Now in Breadberry, Gourmet Glatt Cedarhurst, Mountain Fruit, Kissena Farms, Season's in Queens and Bronx, Riverdale Kosher, etc.

taste them and let us know. Blue bags for the 48% cocoa, soy-free Kosher for Pesach. Excellent quality (no chocolate liquor like the other brands). Pure, real chocolate.

did she ask the manager of Kosher West? Sounds like their order sold out. He'll know the exact re-order day of the week from the distributor.
